About Us

More than a decade ago, many Indian Culture enthusiasts and philanthropists urged a group of scholars headed by Prof M A Lakshmithathachar of Melkote in Karnataka, to create an organization that would exclusively cater to needs of interested people in preserving and propagating the Cultural and scientific Heritage of India by using modern media like CD-Roms, websites etc and also use the latest IT tools to do so. As a result of intense brain storming and research, the Samskriti Foundation came into being in a very small but significant manner. After a brief lull in its activities in the beginning of the millennium, it has picked up its tempo of activities in the last 6 – 7 years and has successfully accomplished many pioneering projects that have caught the imagination of the public at large, though the organization itself has remained incognito. We invite all those who share our passions and objectives to join in this most fulfilling and enlightening journey of preserving and propagating the Culture and Scientific Heritage of India.

Various courses are being conducted for students from India and Countries abroad to spread and propagate about Spiritual Practices, Indian Philosophy, Traditional Indian Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, Indian Astronomy and Astrology and about the rich Cultural Heritage.
